Late Night with Jimmy Fallon App has Show Extras and Apps of its Own

If you love the "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" show and you want to keep up with the show when it's not on air in the middle of the night, than the free LNJF iPhone app is a definite download...

If you watch Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, it's no secret that he dabbles in the "tech arts". By his side on the desk during the show is his MacBook and has multiple show segments with different gadgets as the focus. So for the show to have its own iPhone app is no surprise.

The Lowdown: The LNJF app mainly focuses on behind the scenes videos, pics, and other show content. Sections of the App include:

Latest - The newest LNJF content uploaded to the app
Videos - Behind the scenes videos and out-takes from show segments
Photos - Guest/show photos, as well as photos shot by Jimmy and user-submitted photos
Blog - Snippets from the show's official blog
Schedule - The current week's show schedule with guest appearances

The LNJF app isn't designed to be an option to replace watching the actual show, but merely a supplement where you can see some cool content about the many different facets of the show. Here is what Jimmy Fallon had to say about the app

"We are the first late night show that has a working app. Say you didn't stay up last night and you want to see Zach Galifianakis do a segment where he uses mannequin arms. Now you can go onto the app and say, 'Oh, I can't believe I missed that.' A lot of the bits on our show are very modular, so I think our show works for this.
I am really excited about this thing."

My favorite section of the app is "Jimmy's phone" that is a take from a show segment where he has some special apps that he debuts on his iPhone. Most of the features of this segment of the app are "coming soon", but the apps that are live are silly, corny, and down-right hilarious...which fits right in with the aura of the entire show. Particularly, the Axl Rose Relaxation app, that plays the "smooth sounds" of Guns 'N' Roses front-man Axl Rose (voiced by Jimmy Fallon) croning it up over various and random relaxation noises like 'Amazon Jungle' 'Wind Chimes' and 'Gentle Rain'. Listening to the tapes will surely [not] make you forget the stresses of the day!

My Verdict: If you love the "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" show and you want to keep up with the show when it's not on air in the middle of the night, than the free LNJF iPhone app is a definite download. The fake apps alone are enough to keep you going back to it for a laugh every now and again.
